Which layer of the atmosphere is made up of charged atoms?

1 answer:

7 0

The ionosphere is a shell of electrons and electrically charged atoms and molecules that surrounds the Earth, stretching from a height of about 50 km (31 mi) to more than 1,000 km (620 mi). It owes its existence primarily to ultraviolet radiation from the Sun.

A nearsighted person wants to see an apple that is 7 meters away but can only clearly see objects that are at most 62 cm away fr

natulia [17]

Answer:

The power of the corrective lenses is 3.162 D.

Explanation:

Given that,

Object distance = 70 cm

Image distance = 62 cm

Distance between eyes and glasses = 2.5 cm

Eyeglasses made of diverging corrective lenses can help her to see the apple clearly

So now ,

Object distance from glass =70-2.5 = 67.5 cm

Image distance from glass = 62-2.5 = 59.5 cm

We need to calculate the focal length

Using formula for focal length

$\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{v}+\dfrac{1}{u}$

$\dfrac{1}{f}=-\dfrac{1}{59.5}-\dfrac{1}{67.5}$

$\dfrac{1}{f}=-\dfrac{508}{16065}\ cm$

We need to calculate the power of lens

Using formula of power

$P=\dfrac{100}{f}$

$P=-\dfrac{508}{16065}\times100$

$P=-3.162 \ D$

Negative sign shows the lens is diverging.

Hence, The power of the corrective lenses is 3.162 D.

fgiga [73]

Answer:

Explanation:

Change in length of spring = 2.13 m

Component of weight acting on spring = mg sinθ

mg sinθ = k x where k is spring constant and x is total stretch due to force on the spring.

Here x = 2.13

mg sin17 = k x 2.13

31 x 9.8 sin17 = k x 2.13

k = 41.7 N/m

b ) In case surface had friction , spring would have stretched by less distance .

It is so because , the work done by gravity in stretching down is stored as potential energy in spring . In case of dissipative force like friction , it also takes up some energy in the form of heat etc so spring stretches less.
